It just kind of lets you do what you want, without providing much structure. People who want to organize work 'their way' will usually prefer Things, for this reason.

Unlike Things, OF imposes a little more structure on how you organize your work - it follows the GTD principles much more closely than Things. (you can hide the tags, but then I found instead of seeing too 'much' information, I saw too little). *However*, it also can let you get carried away with tagging, and I immediately found that tags seemed to clutter up the UI and distract me from my real goal: actually *doing* stuff. I like Things' 'tags' feature because it lets you assign multiple keywords/contexts to any given task, which is really useful, and something OF lacks. Largely, I'd say the choice really adds up to personal differences in the way people like to organize their work - this makes the choice as much about each program's philosophy as its features. You can do a Google search on 'Things vs OmniFocus' to find dozens of different opinions about them. They have a lot of similarities, and share many of the same benefits/features. There are some significant differences in 'how' these apps help you organize your stuff, and if you really want to figure out which is better for you, you should be sure to say 'How does OF handle this?' instead of 'Why doesn't OF do this the way Things does?!'ДЄs for my own thoughts, I downloaded both OF & Things trials, and used them both for a couple weeks. As you play with OF, try to avoid making it 'work like Things'. Actually using the tool with your own tasks will give you the best experience of what it's like, much more than anybody else's advice. It will really help you skip some of the learning curve most people struggle with when they try to just 'jump in' to OF.Д«) After you've watched at least the 'Basics' screencast, take a small chunk of projects/tasks from Things & enter them into OF.

Don't just 'watch' the videos, follow along with your trial copy & try entering a few tasks the way he does in the video. They are a great way to get a practical introduction in a short amount of time. Before you jump into using it, watch the ScreenCast videos of using OmniFocus ( ).

I want it to be a good one! I would be grateful for some thoughts on this.ДЄ) First, download a trial copy of OF. I need an app to collect ALL things in life in a system for achieving my longterm, short-term, personal, financial, material, career goals. I happen to make my woman pregnant recently(ooops how did that happened?!) and I want to make this to a life time party. When do you use each one of them? For example do you use one for personal projects and the other one for work? After using both for a while, I like them both. The other one is minimalistc and more attractive. Which is better? I feel Omni is richer in features. With the other manufacturer you must condition your itunes to create a real backup.

One great advantage with Omni is that if oyu don't want or don't need the desktop app you can backup your data through a free WebDav server. My opinion is that they are both equally strong if oyu know what you're doing. Hey Anton, it's Mango form the other forum.
